Pop-up dinner will provide early taste of Midtown's Selden Standard

Selden Standard, a seasonal small-plates restaurant, is set to open in Midtown this fall. But foodies who can’t wait can get a taste of the restaurant menu at a pop-up event next week.

The Oakland Art Novelty Co., 201 W. Nine Mile in Ferndale, is hosting the July 22 dinner event, which will feature a first taste of the collaboration between executive chef Andy Hollyday and Evan Hansen.

Menu items like ceviche with summer vegetables and yogurt-marinated chicken skewers will be available a la carte.

Hollyday told Crain’s last month that Selden Standard’s rotating menu will change as frequently as the seasons dictate, using as many local ingredients as possible.

Hollyday, former executive chef at Roast at the Westin Book Cadillac Detroit, and Hansen, former marketing director at the University of Michigan, met in 2013 and now co-own Selden Standard.

Next week’s dinner will be on a first-come, first-served basis; seating will be limited to small parties to create an intimate dining experience. The dinner starts at 5 p.m., and guests can call up to an hour ahead to be added to the wait list.
